Have you disconnected your OSAC system?

Has anyone bypassed their OSAC system in your slant six engine? To do this, I'd assume you just connect the vacuum supply hose directly from the carb vacuum source, to the vacuum advance on the distributor. Do you screw up your engine if you do this? How do you know if your OSAC system (mounted to the side of the air cleaner) is actually working? Earlier slant sixes never used this system. Thinking about disconnecting it in my 1974 six motor. Thoughts, anyone?
